There is a global increase in the demand for Indian traditional medicine systems like ayurveda and the government is carrying out a survey on how to capture a bigger pie in the foreign health market, Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss said.

"There is increasing evidence of a resurgence of interest in Indian systems of medicine all over the world. There is a great deal of demand for ayurveda and yoga, particularly in the U.S., Germany, Hungary, Italy, the U.K. and Russia," Ramadoss said.

"A good number of foreign delegations has shown interest in bilateral cooperation in these areas and has sought India's support for conducting collaborative educational and research activities," he said, inaugurating a traditional medicine fair here.

However, he did not give any details of the revenue earned through the export of traditional medicine.

The minister said the government was making all "efforts to push" ayurveda, unani and homeopathy products into the emerging global market.
